One small-town Indiana restaurant was named the best in the state, but you might get more than a good meal. This place is said to be extremely haunted.

Indiana has no shortage of great restaurants that have been open for years. These restaurants have become staples in that area, and people must go whenever they are in town. They are restaurants that can even become bucket-list places to dine at. Whether it be comfort food, burgers, fried chicken, seafood, Italian, Mexican, steakhouses, or any other type of restaurant, there are certain places that stand out among the rest. Out of all of the possibilities, it can be somewhat difficult to decide where you want to go to eat, especially in the bigger cities. However, you can't sleep on some small-town restaurants that we have in Indiana. Many of those are hidden gem restaurants that people who are passing through would never know are there.

The folks over at Beyond The Journey shared the best small-town restaurant in each state that is totally worth the drive. That's certainly the case for Indiana's best small-town restaurant.

The Best Small-Town Restaurant in Indiana

According to Beyond The Journey, if you want to find the best small-town restaurant in Indiana, you will want to travel to Brown County. That's where you will find The Story Inn. The restaurant has been around since 1851, and is well-known for being a quaint place to stay when visiting Brown County.  Here's what Beyond The Journey had to say:

Tucked away in a tiny village, this hidden gem offers an upscale dining experience. The seasonal fare served here is as delightful as the quaint setting.

With its charming ambiance and exquisite menu, The Story Inn is a destination for those seeking culinary excellence in a serene environment.

Not only is Story Inn a historic building with a tavern and restaurant connected to the Inn, the Story Inn is also home to a lot of history, and even a resident ghost.

The Haunting of Story Inn

According to reports that we have covered in the past, Story Inn is said to be haunted by the Blue Lady. The identity of the Blue Lady is believed to be Dr. George Story's wife.

Not only can you dine at the Story Inn, but you can also book an overnight stay in the Blue Lady Room at the Story Inn...if you're brave enough, of course.  You can learn more about what the Story Inn has to offer by clicking here.
